This is definitely a sore point for Nitro. I would like to help to 
create some sort of manual by the time 0.5.0 is released (which probably 
won't be tomorrow anyway). I'm still quite new to Nitro but I try to 
regularly read some source and try to make some notes as I go along.

Jo and I talked about it a bit on IRC and he pointed out the Django docs 
(http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/). We could follow a similar 
structure with a step-by-step guide for newbies followed by a complete 
reference section. I'm thinking a wiki-like system for the editors, but 
freeze the text when it is released after which only comments can be 
made (like with postgresql/php docs).

Ideally each section would contain it's own unit tests to see if the 
examples are still valid with new versions, altough I think at this 
point it is more important to focus on actually getting some docs together.

Other opinions on this? Any source diggers willing to contribute?


thank you
